I think that is the case for some of the members here, they come from an Apostolic tradition...but therefore may consider themselves to still be Apostolic by default...though they aren't necessarily practicing or living that faith. That is probably more true of those who come from large Apostolic families.

I understand what you are saying but being Apostolic isn't being born into a faith...it's being born again. Being baptized isn't to join the faith, it's for the remission of sin. I've seen the things that you are speaking of here and I can't consider someone to be of the Apostolic faith if they aren't practicing or living it...it's what the Apostolic faith is all about...an experience, not a religion....and to experience it you must practice it...being born Apostolic doesn't save you....you must step forward and receive. The other faiths you mentioned, the are born into the faith and "saved" by its doctrine.
